Title: Improvements in or relating to handles for dead doorlocks
IPC: C08B3/00
Filed: 1934-06-06
Abstract: 430,606. Attaching doorlock handles to spindles. NAAMLOOZE VENNOOTSCHAP PHILIPS' GLOEILAMPENFABRIEKEN, Emmasingel, Eindhoven, Holland. June 6, 1934, No. 16825. Convention date, June 7, 1933. [Class 44] A doorlock handle is provided with an adjustment device which, together with the spindle, is surrounded by the handle which at the same time locks the adjustment device. One handle 1 is fixed by its screw 2 engaging a selected hole 4 or 5 in the spindle 3 and the fine adjustment for the other handle is effected by moving to a suitable position on the spindle an adjustment block formed with a screw-receiving hole, the block being surrounded and locked by the handle when this is pushed on. The spindle is grooved to accommodate the block which is attached thereto. As shown in Fig. 1 the block 9 is loosely attached to the spindle by a headed stud 13 passing through a slot 10 in the spindle 3 and allowing the block to drop and so to disengage its fine teeth from similar teeth on the spindle whereupon the block can be moved along the spindle to the required position. The block is then lifted so that its teeth engage the spindle and the handle 8 is pushed over and secured by its screw 17 passing through the hole in the block 9. In the form shown in Fig. 5 the block 24 is moved axially along the spindle by a nut 25 rotatable on a threaded extension 23 of the spindle. The block 24 is moved forward till it engages the rose 20 or a disc 30 therein, it being understood that the holes in the handle and in the block are at the same distance from the end. The handle locks the block 9, Fig. 1, or the nut 25, Fig. 3, as soon as it is pushed on the spindle. Handles made of moulded material have metal bushing 18 incorporated.

Title: Improvements in or relating to brake operating gear for vehicles
IPC: B60T7/10
Filed: 1926-07-05
Abstract: 276,478. Ward, L. G. July 5, 1926 Hand, foot, and personal actuation.-A brake operating means for a vehicle comprises a slidable toothed bar or rack 3 connected by a rod or wire 4 to the brake, a hand-lever 10 with pawl 11 to engage the rack to project same forward to apply the brake, a. sliding plate 6 adapted to engage the rack in its displaced position, a foot lever 8 for disengaging the plate 6 from the rack and a hand-grip 12 on the lever 10 for releasing the pawl 11 from the rack. The hand-lever 10 is pivoted at 10<a> between the two sides of a bent plate 1 which also form guides for the rack 3. The plate 6 slides in guides 5<a> and is mounted at one end on a pivoted lever 8, the plate being pressed downwards by a spring 9 acting on the lever. The brake is applied by repeated strokes of the hand lever 10, the rack being retained after each stroke by the plate 6. The brake is locked by projecting the rack 3 forwards where it is retained by the plate 6 and then moving the lever 10 forwardly until the lower end abuts a stop 15 with the pawl 11 engaged in a tooth of the rack. If the plate 6 is raised the pawl 11 still retains the rack so that the brake is not released. The brake is released by moving the rack forwardly by the hand-lever 10 to the extent of one tooth where it is retained by the plate 6- The pawl 11 can then be released from engagement with the rack.

Title: Method for the production of pure silicon
IPC: C01B33/02
Filed: 1954-06-08
Abstract: High grade silicon is prepared by leaching 75-97 per cent ferrosilicon, containing elementary iron and aluminium in the ratio Fe : Al from 0.125 : 1 to 2.5 : 1 by weight, with aqueous hydrochloric, sulphuric, or nitric acids, or mixtures of hydrochloric and sulphuric or nitric acids.  The ferrosilicon is prepared in an electric furnace with a continuously-operating Söderberg electrode, using a charge of quartz and coke, with or without charcoal.  The aluminium may be incorporated in the ferro-silicon by (i) using graphite rods to discharge the furnace; (ii) using quartz and coke containing Al2O3 impurity; (iii) replacing the iron mantle of the Söderberg electrode with aluminium; (iv) adding Al2O3 or Al to the quartz-coke mixture; (v) adding small lumps of Al to the liquid ferrosilicon discharged.  The ferrosilicon may be rapidly crystallized by quenching in water, or subjected to slow cooling or annealing at below 870 DEG  C., e.g. 850-860 DEG  C.  The Specification refers to cooling at 200 DEG  C./hr. above 870 DEG  C. and 100 DEG  C./hr. below, or very slowly at less than 20 DEG  C./hr. The leaching may be effected with 30-35 per cent, e.g. 33 per cent HCl at a temperature of 20 DEG  C., rising steadily to 80 DEG  C. over a period of 200-400 hours.  A mixture of sulphuric or nitric acid and sodium or calcium chloride may be used in place of HCl.  The residue from HCl leaching may be treated with hydrofluoric acid.

Title: Process of producing a food product
IPC: A23L7/196
Filed: 1935-06-13
Abstract: Seeds of leguminous vegetables, kernels of cereals or grain and like foodstuffs are cooked in hot oil or fat at not above 325 DEG  F., preferably 300-212 DEG  F., to produce appreciable reduction of the moisture content, absorption of oil or fat, a somewhat shrivelled condition of the foodstuff, and good moisture absorptive properties, the foodstuff being then removed from the oil or fat, and the cooking completed in the presence of moisture by which the foodstuff is softened and swelled.  The fats and oils used include hog fat, and peanut, refined cottonseed, olive and other vegetable oils.  The final cooking may be effected after the materials have been sealed in tins.  In an example, beans, e.g. navy beans, are swollen and softened by soaking in water at about 60-70 DEG  F., for say 18 hours or for a shorter time at a higher temperature, and then preferably blanched, e.g. by immersing in water at about 210 DEG  F. for 6 minutes.  The beans are next cooked in oil or fat, e.g. hog fat, at 230-240 DEG  F. for about 35 minutes.  Tins are then quarter-filled with the hot beans and filled up with sauce, preferably hot, to which some park may be added, and sealed and heated, e.g. at 250 DEG  F. for 100 minutes or 260 DEG  F. for 90 minutes, the beans absorbing the sauce and swelling to fill the can.  The cans are then cooled, e.g. by a water spray or by exposure to the air.

A valve 7 for the injection of liquid additives into the barrel of an extrusion moulding machine is directly attached to barrel lining 1, e.g. by welding, soldering or screwing and is situated between flanges 4 and 5 of barrel sections 2, 3. Barrel liner 1 is not divided across the axis of the barrel between the flanges and the flanges do not contact the casing 6 of the valve. With this arrangement pressure and temperature fluctuations within the barrel do not affect the sealing of the valve to the liner and consequently leakage is prevented; however, the connection between the valve and liner can easily be undone when the latter requires replacement. Valve 7 comprises an inlet 13, a valve spindle 14 rotated by hand-wheel 15, or by a motor, and a stuffing box 16. In a modification Fig. 2 (not shown), an adaptor (17) is situated between flanges 4, 5 which does not contact valve casing 6 and is divided in at least one plane parallel to the axis of the barrel.
